Lyndon Wainwright

Lyndon Bentley Wainwright (born Scarborough, Yorkshire, 7 December 1919) is a metrologist, ballroom dancer and author. He worked at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) during World War II, and is a former Chairman of the British Engineering Metrology Association. After the war, he was a leading exhibition dancer, and one of a small group of experts who introduced Latin American dance to Britain. Wainwright has written nine books on ballroom dancing. He received the Carl Alan Award for 1996 and 1999, and other honours from the dance community.
Wainwright is also an expert on phonogram performance rights, involved in playing music in public; and a member of the British Ring of the International Brotherhood of Magicians. He married three times: to Felicia Heslop (married 1943, divorced 1960); Isobel Scott (m1964–div.1969); Hope Gandy (m1973). There is a son from his second marriage.
== Metrology ==
After his education and upbringing in Scarborough, Wainwright joined the NPL, the largest applied physics laboratory in the UK, in 1939. There he trained and worked as an engineering metrologist (metrology: the science of precision measurement). From September 1939, this facility worked mainly in support of the war effort, and so employment there was to some extent a reserved occupation: key employees were not called up for military service if the employer made appropriate application to the War Office. In addition to their work, staff members were expected to join the NPL Fire Brigade as part-timers or the ARP (air-raid warning and fire watch).
Later in life, when his active career as a dancer was over, Lyndon returned to metrology, working at the National Engineering Laboratory in East Kilbride, Scotland for four years, and then for seven years was Head of Quality Control and Metrology at PIRA, the Research Association for the Printing, Packaging and Paper Making Industries (formerly PATRA, the Printing Industry Research Association) in Leatherhead, Surrey. In this capacity he lectured in the UK and abroad, and sat on committees of the International Association of Research Organizations in the Printing Industries. Lyndon was Chairman of the English Metrology Association from 1967 to 1972.
